## What you can set

| Setting | What it's for |
| --- | --- |
| Channels | Where applicants answer |
| Questions | What applicants answer, and how much each counts |
| Details | Opening and closing messages candidates see |
| `Auto-advance` | Score a candidate needs to move on |

Web chat is always on, and applicants get the link by email after they apply. You can add SMS or WhatsApp, one at a time, sent from your workspace's number. Each question has a type, such as `Yes or no` or `One choice`, and an importance of `High`, `Medium` or `Low`. Screening runs in English.

## Auto-advance

Each screening gets a score out of 100. With `Auto-advance` on, candidates at or above your bar move to the next stage, and everyone else waits for you in Needs review. A suggested starting bar for `Screen` is 75.

To turn it on, you confirm that you're choosing AI-assisted screening. Tandem never rejects a candidate.
